HAIR-DYEING DEVICE.

Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Aug, 14, 1917,

Application filed November 14, 1916. Serial No. 131,278.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN Pnrnn, a subject of the King of Italy, residing at Newark, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hair-Dyeing Devices, of which the following is a spec1fication.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvement in hair dyeing devices.

The primary object of the invention is the provision of a hair dressing implement whereby a fluid, such as suitable dye material, may be readily placed upon the hair in an even thOrough manner.

A further object of the device is the pro vision of a form of comb for the hair having a distributing means for dye operable in forcibly contacting the hair therewith during the coating operation.

In the drawing forming a part ofthls application and in which like designating characters refer to corresponding parts throughout the several views Figure l is a top plan view of the devlce.

Fig. 2 is a side elevation thereof.

Figs. 8 and 4.- are transverse sectional views taken upon lines III-III and IVIV respectively, of Fig. 1.

Fig. 5 is an elevational view of the dyereceiving end portion of the dispensing member in its open position, and

Fig. 6 is a slightly modified form of the device.

Referring more in detail to the drawing, a paddle-shaped plate or backing 10 is arranged with a substantially rectangular portion 11 having a handle 12 extending from one end thereof and with a plurality of teeth 13 at its opposite end forming a comb adapted to be forced through the hair by the operator. An operating member or frame 14 is shiftably arranged fiat-1v upon the plate 10 between opposite inturned side flanges 15 thereof, a tapered extension 16 being carried by the said frame extending through a guide staple 17 upon the handle 12 while a knob 18 outwardly projects from the free end of the tang whereby the frame 14. may be longitudinally reciprocated.

A distributing member for fluid dye is secured to the forward end of the frame 11 24 is formed on the extreme end portion 25' of the felt 19 adapted to be temporarily disconnected from the remainder of the felt when desired, as best illustrated in Fig. 5 of the drawing for the purpose of inserting hair dye upon the felt within the cuts or slits 22 and 23. The felt 19 acts as wicking in conducting the dye fluid toward the base of the felt adjacent the teeth 18, allowing the dye thereon to engage the hair when the comb 13 is thrust therethrough, it being seen that by operating the knob 18, the frame 14 is reciprocated forcing the felt 19 in repeated contacts with the hair, the extreme outward movements of the shiftable members being illustrated by dotted lines in Figs. 1 and 2 of the drawing.

A device that is easy and inexpensive to manufacture is provided whereby a suitable dye is evenly distributed upon the hair while the supply of dye is readily replenished.

In the form of the invention shown in Fig. 6, the felt 19, adapted to receive the dye, is arranged in close proximity to the comb-teeth 13, the felt being unbroken and this form being specially serviceable in dyeing whiskers. The flanges 15 are integral with the comb member, the latter being secured to the plate portion 11, by screws 26.

What I claim as new is 1. A hair dressing device comprising a back plate having a comb at one end thereof and a handle at the opposite end, a frame reciprocatingly arranged upon the said plate, a distributing felt carried by the said frame adjacent the said comb and being transversely severed for a portion of its width adapted for the reception of fluid dye.

2. A hair dressing device comprising a back plate having a comb at one end thereof and a handle at the opposite end, a frame reeiprocatingly arranged upon the said plate a distributing felt carried by the said frame adjacent the said comb and being transversely severed for a portion of its Width adapted for the reception of fluid dye, resilient members carried by the said distributer normally extending in curved arrangelnent away from the said comb, a tank extension upon the said frame, a guide staple upon the said handle overlying the said tang, 10 and an outwardly projecting operating knob upon the free end of said tang.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.

JOHN PEPER.
